VEHICLE TIPS

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Great job and friendly service.-David B.

I can't say enough regarding the integrity and high level of customer service at Check Engine. I was looking at a used vehicle that showed several visits to their shop on the Carfax report. I sent off an email, and received a call back from Joey within 10 minutes. He ran through the vehicle's service history and eased my mind regarding my desire to purchase the vehicle for my 17 year old daughter. If I lived in Woodward, I would not hesitate to take my vehicle to them. They offer a level of service you just don't find these days. Great Job!-Todd

The only mechanics I trust with my car. I highly recommend them!!-Michelle & Mike E.

Having my "check engine" light come on in the middle of a road trip to Colorado put me in a bit of a panic. Fortunately, I found my way to Check Engine for the diagnostic. I was treated with the utmost respect and friendliness and was able to have my car repaired and on my way.-Anonymous

Check Engine is amazing. I always get the highest quality of service possible. The staff at Check Engine are friendly, knowledgeable and very honest.

They are always very friendly, and have consistently repaired my vehicles to my satisfaction. One thing that stands out is Michael's commitment to quality. They stand behind their work, and if there's a problem after they fix it, they make it right. I would recommend them highly.-Robert H., Woodward
